Trauma for life

By he's still not convinced - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while visiting my mother, she asked my son who his favorite parent was. As a growing boy, he chose his father. I don't mind, except she then asked, "So, whose side are you taking in the divorce?" My husband and I have no marital issues. My son refuses to believe us. FML

Your mother is despicable. Why would she even do that?

She's attempting to plant the seed that will grow into an inevitable divorce. Clever girl.

She is not clever. This should in no way put a strain on their marriage if you think about it. All it does is make them dislike grandma for having to rehabilitate their son into knowing mom and dad are not going to divorce.

maybe she's not her real mother, and she's adopted because the mother couldn't have children and now she hates her for having children of her own

Is that not what #3 just said? There's no point in leeching off the comment of someone else.

Sounds more like her son, since she convinced him he's gonna choose one and since his dad's the favorite...And she just heard that...

So mean of her. Best you and your husband sit him down and let him know you both love each other very much and are definitely not getting a divorce. Poor kid.

You can't divorce your mother. No matter what, she will be the woman who gave birth to you.

One day I hope you will realise that not all comments on FML should be taken seriously... Ya bawbag :p

#20, I'm glad I didn't try my "I hope you mean ex-mum" comment. It seems this section is overrun by the humor-impaired, and such an original and brilliant gem would have gone to waste.

Maybe you would have had better luck with the "dump her" comment.

Hah, well Perdix, I started off with negative votes when everyone thought I was actually being serious - I can't believe I had to make a second statement to mention that I was joking! Fickle voters! ^o^

You and your husband may not have issues but your mother sure as hell does. sounds to me like she doesn't like your husband but regardless. You don't say something like that to a impressionable young child.

I bet that if you asked her why she did it, her cheeks would become full red and she would say "For the glory of Satan, of course!" Anyway, that was a really large dick move, very disrespectful. Your mum owes you an apology, a big one! Good luck handling this situation, OP.

I bet if OP threw water on her mom, she would melt. Problem solved.

Jesus, what an awful thing to do! If I were you I would make HER apologize to your son and make things right. Why would she want to make her own grandson unhappy AND try to wreck a perfectly good marriage?
